Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs clash Wednesday
A 7.5 over/under for Wednesday’s matchup between Los Angeles and Chicago at Dodger Stadium might seem attractive to those eager to wager on point totals.
The under could be viewed as a safe play considering the two clubs combine to score 7.58 runs per game topping out right at the over/under line. However, laying money down on the under seems to be a wiser move in this contest.
The two teams played earlier in the week and the over/unders in the games on Monday and Tuesday were both set at 7.5, but they failed to reach the mark. In the first contest, the clubs ended the day with a combined score of seven runs, and in the second, the teams topped out at a combined five runs scored. The totals fell below the combined 9.28 average runs given up by the two clubs recently.
Both teams’ defenses have been strong in their last ten games. They’ve combined to allow 7.3 runs per game in those contests.
Both bullpens should be rested and ready to go if called upon. The Dodgers‘ relievers have pitched 7.0 innings in the last three games, while the Cubs’ have pitched 8.1 innings.
There are some reasons to take the over. Los Angeles will trot out Ted Lilly (3-3 4.67) and Chicago will turn to Carlos Zambrano (4-1 4.38). The two hurlers have a combined ERA of 9.05. The two teams have a combined over/under record of 35-32-4, so they’ve been able to beat the totals line.
